"We're a package deal," say the former Peyton Royce & Billie Kay on their post-WWE futures.

The former IIconics plan on sticking together in professional wrestling.

Speaking with Dave LeGreca and Bully Ray on Sirius XM's Busted Open Radio, Jessica McKay (formerly Billie Kay) and Cassie Lee (Peyton Royce) called themselves a "package deal," though Lee acknowledged they hadn't spoken about what would happen if one of them got a contract offer and the other didn't:-

"I don't know if we've necessarily talked about that but what we do know is that we're a package deal, we're going to move forward together, and that's what it is."

McKay talked about the duo's fondness for tag team wrestling, adding that they'd like to help that division in whichever promotion they land:-

"We definitely want to stay together. We’d love to work for another company and we feel we can help a tag team division at whatever company we choose to go with. We still love tag team wrestling and that was our goal all along, to really build tag team wrestling."

As far as potential landing spots go, Lee spoke about AEW and IMPACT Wrestling, both of which would be amongst the leading contenders to sign her and McKay-

"It’s tough. For example, AEW, I feel we could help their women’s division, they don’t necessarily have a women’s tag division. We have TV experience and we could help build that up. With IMPACT, they have a women’s tag division and a well-established Knockouts division that we could easily slip into. I feel we have a lot to offer both of them."

Released from WWE on 15 April, Lee and McKay's standard 90-day non-compete clauses mean they'll be able to sign for another promotion from 14 July. Though they can't legally wrestle until then, Cassie and Jessica are currently staying active through their new Off Her Chops podcast.
